Fearless leaders work in schools under-resourced and overburdened and serve disproportionately large numbers of children who live in poverty and face racism daily. They are ordinary educators committed to proving that demographics need not be destiny. This book will help you bridge the divide that separates urban students from their birthright of a high-quality education. Each chapter closes with reflections and activities that will help your leadership team produce its own roadmap for change. --from publisher description.794323696794323696What is fearless leading? -- To what are fearless leaders committed? -- Why fearless leaders are needed: a call to action -- Fearless leaders as soul friends: affirmation in action -- Fearless leaders as muses: inspiration in action -- Fearless leaders as ministers: mediation in action -- Amplifying student voice -- Mediative learning communities as oases of success -- Revisiting an oasis of success in the making.2012Urban schools--United States--AdministrationLeadershipSchool improvement programs--United StatesUrban schoolsUrban schools--AdministrationSchool improvement programsEducational leadership--United States2017-07-10
